"Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high."
Red's POV
"You will be mine?" was all Irene could say. The asshole must've expected that she would fall head over heels for him after that little presentation. But I know her better than anyone else..
"God.. kaya nga ayaw kung kinakantahan ako." She continued. Everyone grew quite at her remark while I had a huge grin plastered across my face.
"First of all.. Guy, I don't know you."
"Well.. If that's the only issue here then sagutin mo na ako. I'm sure that we'll know each other real well after a couple of dates." Jeez, the nerve of this guy. If I was only a little braver, I could've just slammed my fist across his face and claimed to him and to everyone that Irene Andrada Yu is mine, and only mine.
"Let me finish first.. Second is that, napili mo pa talagang kantahan ako? Ang panget naman ng boses mo. Parang iniinsulto mo na ako nyan eh. Ano ba ako sa tingin mo? Banyo na pwede mo nalang praktis-praktisang kumanta? And jeez, Hindi mo rin ba alam kung paano ang tamang pag gamit ng gitara? Gusto mo turuan pa kita? Tsk. Makaalis na nga. Nababadtrip ako." And right then and there she left.
Some of the people who must've met her for the first time looked shocked and puzzled. But to me, scenes like this are just too common.
I don't think she ever had a guy who she considered "close" with, not that nobody's trying but, apparently nobody was well suited enough for her taste I guess. I considered myself lucky for being even acquainted with her before, but thank God that he allowed a fellow like me to even be recognised by somebody like her.
I even thought once that I was this great for being the only guy to be friends with Irene Yu, but looking at it now. I don't think she even considers me as a man, a man that might like her and that she might like back that is.
"Haha. What a girl. Mapapalaban ako netoh." Lance Laurel was all smiles when I went pass him. This one is stubborn. Even though I hated his guts I still wished that I had his confidence, to even have the strength to say how I really feel.
The hallways were streaming with students. I could've just gone home like any other normal teenager after class but I just wanted to see her one last time before going home.
"Red! Bro! Hindi ka pa uuwi?"
"Uy, Dex.. Hindi pa. Uhmm, hinahanap ko lang si Prof.Hilario, may itatanonglang ako tungkol sa research papers natin eh." God Red, it's too obvious when you're telling a lie and Dexter Sean Chua could easily tell that you're lying, considering that he's my bestfriend.
I've known him since high school, we've had each other's back even way back then. He might be a joker and a trickster at times but if I'm counting on a guy I could trust my life with, then that would be him.
"Talaga? Nakaka panibago ka ngayun ah. Haha. Kung hinahanap mo si Ai, umuwi na siya kanina. May piano recital pa raw ata."
The other thing I like about him is that he's related to Irene. They're cousins, but their attitudes really don't match. They always bicker whenever they see each other.
"Ah.. umuwi na pala siya- I mean. Hindi ah, hinahanap ko nga si Sir Hilario!"
"Sir Hilario? Dinaanan mo na yung gurang na yun kanina eh. Sige pa, mag sinungaling ka pa diyan. Tatawagin ko talaga ang pinsan kung yun at sasabihin na may gus-"
"Oo na! tumahimik ka na nga!" What did I tell you? This guy must be psychic or something, or baka obvious lang talaga siguro ako.
"Haha. Samahan mo nga ako Red."
